The appropriation of the Shares in this Company (which will take place in a few days) has been delayed in consequence of the great number of applications, and the necessary interchange of much correspondence between the Directors of Glasgow and those in London. 10, Salisbury-street, Strand, 21st May, 1838. HODGSON and BURTON. CLARIDE'S PATENT ASPHALTE COMPANY. In consequence of an Advertisement which has lately appeared from the Directors of Cassel's Company, containing the opinions of Counsel as to the extent of Mr. Cassel's Patent, the Directors of CLARIDGE'S PATENT ASPHALTE COMPANY have thought fit to take the opinions of Messrs. Jacob, Fitz Roy Kelly, and Ellis, whether Mr. Claridge's Patent can be considered to in terfere with Mr. Cassel's, and, having received the following re ply, they beg to submit it to the public : " Upon reading Mr. Cassel's specification, and having Mr. Claridge's Invention explained to us, we arc of opinion that Mr. Cassel's Patent does not include Mr. Claridge's Invention ; and that Mr. Claridge's Invention may be worked without infringing Mr. Cassel's Patent.

The object of the " LANGUIN COAL and IRON COM PANY" is to manufacture Pig and Bar Iron with Coke, instead of the method at present pursued in France, of making it with charcoal. It is well known that iron made with charcoal, besides being un suited for general purposes, caunot be manufactured except at a considerable cost—hence the high protecting duties imposed on Foreign Iron entering France. These duties, and the fast increas ing consumption of Iron made by means of Charcoal in that coun try, in Railroads, Steam-engines, Gas and Water Pipes, are the best guarantees of the present prices for Iron beim , . maintained. There is no probability of even a partial reduction of the duties ; each attempt to effect it has failed, as a very great amount of French capital is embarked in the manufacture of Charcoal Iron, and in which a large majority of the French Chamber of Deputies are more or less interested. This Company has purchased the Languin Freehold Estate and Colliery for the very moderate sum of 24,0001., consisting of 135 English acres, Buildings, :11achinery, Plant, Sze-, and the Royalty concession of fourteen square miles, or 8,960 acres, which offers ad vantages rarely to he met with in . France. The Colliery has been worked for a number of years, and is now in extensive operation, and the Coal is at present raised at ss. per ton. The fullest investigation, by practical men, has satisfied the Directors of the extent of the Coal-field, and experience proves that as a Colliery alone an ample income may be realised. On the Property, and in the immediate neighbourhood, Iron Ore is so abundant, that no limit can be fixed to the supply, and contracts can be made, by which the Ore can be raised, and deli vered at the furnace for Three Shillings r Ton. This will appear to be an immense ad van t age to the Company, when contrasted with the fact, that from 14s. to 28s.,is the cost price to the different Iron Works in this country for the supply of the same material. The Estimates have been gone into with the greatest care, and submitted to the examination of practical Miners and Iron Masters. who have no doubt that Pig Iron may be made at a cost not exceed ing 2/. and Bar Iron 5/. per Ton ; whilst the selling price of Pig Iron in France, (the duty on which is from 3/. 10s. to 60, is la ; and Bar Iron, (the duty being from 10/. to 14/. ), is 241.:—The estimate of cost may appear low, compared with the probable sel ling price, and the profit consequently enormous, un l ess t h e advan tages whichl operate in favour of the Company are considered, viz. the high protecting Duties—the very low cost of Mineral—its abundance in the neighbourhood of suitable coal—and the low price of labour in France—it follows that Iron may be manufactured at considerable less cost than even in this country; whilst the selling price is nearly double. Making full allowance for unforeseen con. tingencies, upon a moderate calculation, a profit of Forty per Cent. may confidently be expected. Application for Shares to be made by letter (post-paid), addressed to the Secretary, at the temporary Offices of the Company, 69, Cornhill, where the Prospectuses, Estimates, and Reports, may be had.

The system upon which this is conducted precludes the possibility of competition for cheapness, quality, and durability, as not any house in London can manufacture at these prices. The Society wishes it to be thorougly understood, that they do not receive hawked or other goods for sale, like the bazaars and haberdashers ; but they make every article themselves, which enable them confidently to warrant their goods of the very best materials. If any fault appear it will be made good, free of all charge for twelve months. A trial is earnestly solicited of those about to furnish, as the only criterion by which the merits and decided advantages of purchasing at this establish ment can be fairly estimated. This Society being founded for the support of industrious mechanics, the funds of which provide for its members in old age and burial, they therefore sincerely hope that their humble endeavours will meet with public patronage.

PRICE sd. BANK OF IRELAND CHARTER. (From the Drogheda Journal.) The notice which appears in our advertising columns, most respectably signed, calling upon the inhabitants of this town to meet on Monday next, for the purpose of petitioning the Hoire of Commons on the important subject of Banking, has our most cordial approbation. The situation in which Drogheda, Dundalk and Newry are placed by that clause in the Bank of Ireland Charter, which excludes these ports from the neces sary establishment of Banks, for the commerce and accommo dation of their Merchants, Shipowners, Manufacturers, Shop. keepers, &c. &c., is most extraordinary, and has long proved disastrous to their prosperity, it behoves the inhabitants of all classes in these towns to arouse themselves on this occasion, and seize upon this favourable opportunity to remind the House of Commons, that in the present enlightened state of the pub. lie mind in regard to the principles of free trade, it cannot be any longer tolerated, that the few individuals who constitute the Directory of the Bank'of Ireland shall, without responsi bility or controul, and under the protection of an exclusive Charter, draw a magic circle 50 miles round Dublin, and say— " Within this limit no person or persons shall be permitted to associate together for the purpose of forming a Banking Es. tablishment." W e are not di spose d i n the present state of this important question to enter minutely into the various ex clusive clauses in the Bank of Ireland Charter ; suffice it to say, in reference to Drogheda, Dundalk and Newry, three very important towns, that they are prohibited from establishing Joint Stockßanks, and that this prohibition will be continued for many years, unless the efforts of their Merchants, Manu facturers, &c., be most zealously directed to the proceedings of Parliament, which has already appointed a Committee to collect facts, and to report the result of their proceedings to the House, preparatoryto the renewal of the Bank of Ireland Charter. We are therefore compelled by an imperative sense of duty to the public to call upon them to come fsrward on this occasion, and convince the House of Commons by the energy of their resolutions, and the independent spirit of their petition on Mon day next, that although they have patiently submitted to the exclusive monopoly of the Bank of Ireland for so many years, yet that they have keenly felt the evils of this exclusion from the privileges of Banking, and that no efforts shall be wanting on their part to prevent a continuance of this unjustifiable mo nopoly; then may we calculate on the rapid prosperity of Dun dalk, Newry, and Drogheda, when we have Banking establish ments, planned and matured by resident Merchants, whose local knowledge of the districts they reside in will qualify them to render their plans effective to meet the demands of an in creasing commerce. MR. SERGEANT TALFOURD'S NEW COPYRIGHT BILL. Messrs. Longman and Co. beg respectfully to solicit atten tion to the following statement : Mr. Sergeant Talfourd's Copyright Bill, now before the House of Commons, has been introduced with the avowed ob ject of benefiting authors and promoting the interests of litera ture. The subscribers presume to give no opinion as to the probable operation of the proposed measure in the latter point of view ; and certainly they would be the last to evince any hostility to any proposal for benefiting authors, provided it in volved no injustice to others. This, however, will be the effect of Mr. Sergeant Talfourd's Bill, should it pass into a law as it now stands. The subscribers do not complain of its pro:. spective, but of its retrospective, clauses. It may, perhaps, be doubted whether the interests of literary men and of literature will be better secured by substituting for the present copyright term of 28 years certain, with the life of the author, the term of 60 years certain ; but if Parliament be of opinion that this prolongation will be advantageous, the subscribers will cheer fully acquiesce in its decision. But they feel convinced that, in conferring a boon on one class, however deserving, Parlia ment cannot intend that it should be accompanied by an act of injustice to others, and by an invasion of rights hitherto held sacred. Such, however, will certainly be the effect of enacting the retrospective clause in the proposed Bill. In common with most other extensive publishers, your sub scribers have expended large sums in the purchase of copy rights; and they beg to call your especial attention to the fact, that the assignments to such copyrights have uniformly conveyed to them all right, contingent and future, as well as certain and immediate. that their authors either had or might afterwards acquire. The usual words are—" The author dis-' poses of all and every the entire copyright, and all reversion, renewal, and extension of copyright, as well present as future, vested as contingent, for the term of 28 years, and all such further and other term as the author then had or should at any time thereafter have or acquire." Surely it is unnecessary to dwell on the obvious injustice of passing a law authorising individuals to take back property sold under such stipulations. Is it not really to insult authors to propose to promote their interests by giving their families the option of committing fraud, by reclaiming that which their progenitors had unreservedly sold and been paid for? The loss that would be entailed on the publishers, and the injury that would be done to literature, by the passing of such a retrospective enact m ent are as evident as its injustice. Publishers who purchase the copyright of works frequently employ literal) , men at an immense expense to revise and improve them, and make them more in accordance with the advancing k now l e d ge o f t h e age. B ut s h ou ld t h e copyright revert to the family of the original author at the end of twenty eight years from its publication, or at his death, two parties would have conflicting claims to the work in its improved state ; and unless the publisher were able to repurchase from the family of the original author that part of the work which he had already purchased from their father, it might he pulled to pieces, and the publisher lose the whole value of the im provements he had effected upon it. The case now stated will, should the proposed Bill pass into a law, be of very frequent occurrence. A very large class of the most useful wor k s , i nc l ud i ng all descriptions of works on practical politics, law, science, and art, and all school books, are necessarily in a state of progressive and continuous im provement. The passing of a new law, or a new discovery in science, may make what was perfect to-day imperfect to-mo-- Yin! ; and the publi s h ers , if t h ey wou l d prevent their books being driven out of the market, must take care to have them improved accordingly. In consequence of the changes that are thus perpetually occurring, it very frequently happens that at the end of 28 years, or at the death of the original authors of legal and scientific works, little remains of their primary contributions except the title. That, however, being the designation by which books are known, is of great import ance ; and if the families of the original authors arc to be en titled to claim it, and any other fragment of the original work that may remain, notwithstanding the sale of every existing and contingent right to it by their fathers, the value of the ad ditions proved state, ditior,s made by the publishers, that is, of the work inits im- • d will be totally destroyed. The subscriberss are satisfied that, were there nothing else to object to in it, the least consideration of the influence that the retrospective clause must have in the case of all legal and scientific works would be enough to make it be rejected. There are other important considerations connected with this matter which are entirely overlooked in Mr. Sergeant Talfourd's Bill. Some of the most important and valuable works in the English language have been wholly projected and planned by p u bli s h ers, who have employed literary men, and paid them large sums to furnish contributions to these works, according to a plan laid down for their guidance. Above 100,0001. has been paid for contributions to some single works of the class now alluded to; and surely it cannot , be the intention of the Legislature to give the families of the authors who supplied portions of such works a right at their deaths, or at the termination of 28 years, to claim the property of those portions. This would be the climax of in justice, and would occasion a destruction of literary property unparalleled in the annals of literature. The projector and publisher of an Encyclopaedia, a review, or other literary work supplied by numerous individuals, should be looked upon in the same light as a contractor who purchases contributions for any great work in architecture, civil-engineering, &c. But what would become of such works, were those who furnished a brick or a column, a sluice or a drawbridge, to be allowed, at the end of 28 years, to come and carry it away ? If Parlia ment be desirous to subvert one of the most valuable branches of the national literature, and that which supplies a greater , revenue to literary men than all the rest put together, they may permit an injustice of this sort to be consummated, but not otherwise. Within the last few years many valuable works that had been long out of print, and inaccessible to the public, have been reprinted by enterprising individuals, and sold at a very low price. A most valuable addition has, in consequence,. been made to the available literature of the day. It is•cer tain, however, that very little profit has been made by these republications, and that in many instances they have been productive of a loss. But the passing of Mr. Sergeant Tal fourd's Bill will go far to put an end to such undertakings ;' for if the families of authors may come forward and exact a second price for works that would, but for this Act, have been public property, there is not one case in ten in which a publisher would under such circumstances attempt their re publication. It may probably be true, that the enactment of the retro spective clause in Mr. Sergeant Talfourd's Bill would be ad vantageous to a few authors; but the subscribers feel satisfied' that it will be in the last degree injurious to the real interests of literature and of the great body of literary men. They hold no opinion in common with those who object to copy right in any shape, and they have already stated, that they have not the slightest objection to any extension of the exist ing, term of copyright Parliament may think proper to give to authors. But they humbly submit, that this addition'al term should be prospective, and not retrospective, or that it should apply only to copyrights not yet sold; that Parliament cannot, without committing manifest injustice, restore that property to the families of authors to which their fathers sold every claim and title, present, contingent, and future; and that justice requires, that if the existing term of copyright be prolonged, the holders of purchased copyrights, as well as the authors in possession, should enjoy the benefit of the extended term. The subscribers beg also to submit, that justice and a re gard for the interests of literature alike require that publishers should be held to have the exclusive copyright of all works SPORTING IN TELLIGEN CE.

NEGRO APPRENTICESHIP. MEETING OF THE BOROUGH OF LAMBETH. Last evening a public meeting of the inhabitants of the borough of Lambeth was held at the Horns Tavern, Kennington, for the purpose of adopting a petition to Parliament for the immediate abolition of Ne gro Apprenticeship in the West India Colonies. At six o'clock, Benja min Hawes, Esq , M.P., was called to the Chair. Amongst the many respectable Gentlemen by whom the platform was crowded, we observed the. Rev. Messrs. J. R. Barber, J. Binney, John Burnett, and W. Griffith ; Messrs. Welford, Thompson, Scobell, Joshua Field, Christy, Latchmore, and Russell, with a host of other influential and public.spi rited indviduals. The great room was very densely thronged, and the front seat presented a galaxy of female beauty and fashion. Mr. HAWES, on presenting himself to the nceeting, was received with loud and reiterated cheers. He said he came forward upon that occa sion in the discharge of a public duty, which he felt bound to perform, not only as the representative of a free constituency, but lie felt himself propelled to it by the dictates of his own conscience.—(Cheers.) Their ,object was not to interfere with the rights or property of any individual, or of any body of men.—(Hear, hear.) The cry of slavery had reached them—the chains of thraldom had clanked upon their ears, and to soothe the one, and burst asunder the other, were the great objects of their struggle.—(Cheers.) It might be said that the subject of negro apprenticeship had been exhausted, and that a British public had been made sufficiently acquainted with the miseries of negro slavery, but he for one would not rest easy or contented so long as slavery existed even in name, much less in reality as it did at present in the British co lonies.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) He would not harrow up the feelings of the meeting--he would not attempt to excite public indigna tion by a recapitulation of the disgraceful scenes which had been enacted by the West India planters ever their fellow creatures, to whom liberty was as sweet as it was to the highest Peer in the land, and whose im. mortal souls were purchased at as dear a rate, and were as precious In the eyes of their Creator as the wealthiest tyrant that ever trampled on their rights and privileges.—(Cheer..) No, he would have recourse to those means of exciting their sympathies, but it was his duty to direct them to a peaceful and legitimate exertion for the emancipation of thou sands of their fellow men, who were writhing under the lash, and groaning beneath the galling chains of slavery.—(Loud cheers.) He had heard—as no doubt the most of those present had heard —a compact spoken of.—(Hear, hear, hear, and laughter.) Yes, a compact had been entered into by a too confiding nation, which they had honourably fulfilled; but he would ask, had the other party discharged their portion of it ?—(Cries of " No, no.") The nation would be no longer trifled with, they had paid their millions, and they would ineict nn h9vinE, Lti ,oncirioratinn for which those millions Wad been advanced.—(Cheers.) They would not be satisfied with less than the full and unqualified emancipation of the negroes.—(Cheers.) A noble task bad been undertaken by the people of England, and unde terred by the delay of Ministers, or by the consequences that were likely to arise from it, they were determined to perform that task faithfully to the letter.—(Cheers.) The Rev. Mr. CAREV, in rising to propose the first resolution, to the effect, " That notwithstanding the abrupt termination of the debate in the House of Commons on Sir George Strickland's motion had resulted in the rejection of the petitions of the people of England, yet the meeting were determined to persevere in their efforts," addressed the meeting at considerable length, and with much ability. The Rev. J. BURNETT, in rising to second the resolution, said he did not know that in the history of public agitation in these kingdoms they could find anything like a parallel to the effects of the agitation which they now witnessed on the slavery :question.—(Hear, hear.) He had been told that this subject was fresh and new to the public mind, and that the feverish feeling which attended the national love of novelty would soon tire. But instead of that being the case, he saw not only the supporters of the cause increase daily in number, but they were evidently becoming more determined to support it.—(Cheers.) A great meeting was to be held at Exeter Hall upon Friday next, and and already he understood upwards of 4,000 tickets were disposed of.-- (Loud cheers.) It might be asked why were those demonstrations of popular feeling made? and he would answer, it was bceause the people had determined that slavery should cease. —(Loud cheers.) They were not under a despotism, like that of Pharoah or Nebuchadnezzar, nor would their cries be raised, like that of the Israelites to Pharoah, without being heard.—(Cheers.) And who, he would ask had they on the throne ? Was it a Pharoah ? No, they had one who could not be a lover of slavery, no matter how much she might be trammelled by peculiar circumstances.—(Cheers.) It was quite impossible that the supporters of slavery could look to the Sove reign for support.—(Hear, hear.) What were they then to look to, 'was it to the House of Lords ?—(Hear, and laughter.) It was some time ago the fashion to traduce that House, but he was not going to traduce them now, although he was no great admirer of them.— (Hear, hear.) They might certainly wish to rule with a rod of iron, and hope that the days of Villanage might be restored, but he should like to know why they would support a system of slavery ?—(Cheers ) Was he then to look at the House of Commons?—(Continued cheers.) That was tender ground whilst they had a Member of that House in the Chair.—(Laughter.) But as the resolution which he held in his hand referred to them, he must either refer to them or else desert his text.—(Cheers.) The Rev. Gentleman here proceeded in a strain at once eloquent and humorous, to instruct the meeting in the way in which they should deal in future with such of their representatives as failed to support their views; and concluded by seconding the resolution, which was afterwards put, and carried unanimously. The Rev. Mr. BINNEY moved the second resolution, as regarded the adoption of a petition, Which was seconded by , Mr G. THOMPSON, in a luminous and impressive speech, in which he recapitulated all the arguments with which he has been in the habit of addressing the several immense meetings which have been lately held throughout the country upon this subject. Mr. T. D'EvxcouaT, who had arrived during the proceedings, here addressed the meeting, and warmly supported the object for which they had assembled. A vote of thanks was then passed to the Hon. Members, who were obliged to retire to attend their duties in the House of Commons. Mr. It. G. WELFORD said he had been entrusted with a resolution about which no difference of opinion could arise, and whereon at the then late hour he should confine his observations to a few sentences. The Rev, mover of the first resolution had told them that civil and re. ligious liberty were so intimately connected they could scarcely be dis. cussed separately. In this sentiment he cordially agreed. Upon that text the powerful speech of Mr. Burnett had formed an admirable com. ment, for that speech was an able advocacy of man's freedom in every chine. To the cutting irony of Mr. Burnett, and the eloquent denun. ciations of Mr. Thompson, anything he could say would not advance the great cause of negro emancipation, but rather weaken the effect of those eloquent speechei upon the then exhausted meeting. He would only add, that in all which had fallen from those effective advocates of the slave, he (Mr. Welford) earnestly concurred. his resolution called upon the meeting to thank Mr. Field for his valuable services in the chair. The meeting then separated. LITERARY SUPPLIES THROUGHOUT GREAT BRITAIN.—The two highly popular tales, " Count Cagliostro," in 3 vols. " A work of extraordinary power."—Despatch.

LIGHTS AND SHADOWS OF IRISH LIFE.— There is a sympathy with the better feelings of humanity which Mrs. .Hall possesses and a power also of delineating the lightning flashes of its wildest impulses, which render her, by the help of her knowledge of the people and the country, particularly fit (perhaps above all living authors) to write sketches of Irish character, such as are contained in the volumes before us. What can be more tr ly Irish—heart, mind, and spirit-- than Connor O'Gorman, with his wild, cheerful, and tender love. Wha more beautiful than the sweet nature of Aileen f We most cordiall recommend these charming volumes to all who can take delight in stories which are not only full of the deepest interest, but which have a moral tendency highly creditable to the gifted authoress, and likely to make them as useful as they are delightful.—Court Journal.
